Ubiquity, a U.S. digital infrastructure owner, developer, and operator focused on developing open access fiber-to-the-premise networks, announced that the company has closed on its inaugural Green Loan, a senior secured green revolving debt facility from a syndicate of lenders led by Woodforest National Bank.
Ubiquity will use the newly committed funds to accelerate deployment of open access fiber networks in its operating regions of Texas, California, Arizona, and Nebraska, and to continue serving its communities with sustainable premium fiber services.
“Ubiquity, on behalf of its investors, has deployed significant capital into our core markets over the past few years,” said Jamie Earp, Ubiquity co-CEO and Managing Partner. “Today, we are pleased to partner with our new bank syndicate, led by Woodforest National Bank, together with joint lead arranger, CrossFirst Bank, as well as Axiom, Bank of Blue Valley and Susser Bank to enable further deployment of premium fiber infrastructure to our stakeholders.”
